Torn from Melbourne.

I arrived back in Perth last night and I must say, that as much as I loved Melbourne I'm glad to be home :)

There is something about the crisp air in Perth and the sparkling clean streets that makes me really appreciate this city. I WILL however miss the cool Melboune weather and the creative buzz that I had the entire time I was there. Melbourne oozes of potencial oppertunity for artists of all types.

This is some of the stuff we saw over there:

I also managed to visit the 696 gallery on one of the few days when it's closed BUT I could still see my paintings hanging up through the front window so all was not lost. It also helped that there are some GREAT stores in Brunswick :)

All wrapped up in Melbourne!

WE MADE IT TO MELBOURNE!!!! And having the time of our lives I must add :)

There is something about the dusty, greyness in Melbourne that makes you really appreciate the clean streets and crisp blue skies of Perth but gawd damn. There are so many facets to this city that you just want to keep running until you trip over a circus, or fall in to magic wardrobe or slip on fairy dust!

I've caught up with some old friends already who have each showed us some awesome stuff (including the world's best jam donuts from the Footscray station. This little old couple sit in this super, dodgy van, there is never a moment when someone isn't at this van, people come from other suburbs JUST for these donuts and they don't make any other kind of donut, just jam)

We also had the best pizza I've ever tasted at Le Niche Cafe where we saw John Clarke and Dash giggled like a school girl.

I also found some REALLY cheap jewelery displays!!!! Which will come in handy because I've been accepted in to the Unwrapped Market for Artists! YAYAYAYAYAY!!!

My brother is a big time artist in Melbourne and was invited to an exhibition opening last night but we were too tired to go with him in the end. The exhibition was for Graeme Base (of Animalia fame)'s wife. So learning our lesson, were going to try take it easy today so that we still have energy for a party tonight :P
